I was going to link this article since it is a great observation article on Chappell and cancel culture in general but it would seem that current events pulled a current events so I'll just leave this here for the grandparents that started it.
In Defense of Cancel Culture...and Dave Chappelle
Dave Chappelle's defiant defense of his Netflix special shows why cancel culture is actually a good thing.

Id argue that capturing a criminal isnt technically cancelling. Simply because crimes should be punished regardless of status. While dave didnt molest on anyone on stage as far as i know.
But yeah otherwise it makes sense.
It's much less interesting than you think: it's just that I don't know enough about it to have a useful opinion on the matter. But I can say that from what I've seen, she doesn't offer much thought and consideration to anyone but herself.
You asked for a movement that went after someone in a position of power, after all. High-profile targets are difficult to take down. And to get specific on your examples of Ubisoft and Activision, it partly comes down to the fact that not enough gamers care. Too many are assholes who don't give a shit who gets hurt as long as they get their games. Too many just aren't engaged with industry news and are completely ignorant of the wrongdoing of these people in power. I hate to say it, but that's why they'll probably get away with it.
While it's true that the ultimate goal is for someone who has brutalized many people for his own pleasure should face justice, do also realize that this was an open secret forever.
Actors and Actresses knew it. Script Writers knew it. Those close to the movie industry knew it.
From Seth Meyer’s joke to Entourage: How Hollywood hinted at Harvey Weinstein scandal
Hollywood’s has not just woken up to the sexual harassment allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein. The knowledge of it flowed in an undercurrent through the industry, seeping out often.

Weinstein & Hollywood's "Open Secret" - Ethics Unwrapped
Allegations of sexual assault by film producer Harvey Weinstein prompted many in Hollywood to reckon with how much they knew about his behavior and why they did not speak up.
ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu
To excuse the potential joke, Weinstein had too much money and power that he was too big to fail. The 'cancelling' (or boycott or bringing reality to the forefront as it was called in the past) stripped him of protect.
And, let's be fair. Fuck Hollywood for all the movies they are producing on this. I get one or two, but it seems like everyone wants to strike while the iron is hot. Simply to cash in on what should be an embarrassing and horrible thing that people allowed to happen to keep their careers. And now they are using it again to advance their careers. I think a tell-all documentary is more fitting for this situation than fictionized depictions, but that's just me.
If you can't imagine a situation where you might defend Steven Crowder, your only principle is hatred.
And yet that's still one more principle than Crowder has.
Missed this earlier but worth mentioning: Sam Seder has offered to debate Crowder on multiple occasions and the little punk-ass wusses out every time. Allegedly, Crowder's manager, who is also his father, won't let him debate Seder. I saw that clip of Crowder bailing on Seder the day it happened and honestly? It was a fucking laugh. Mr. "Change My Mind" is a paper tiger who can't stand up to real intellectuals.
Within the context of what this thread is about, no I can't, absolutely zero.
Some small part of me might imagine that Tim Pool could one day wake up to his own bullshit. Heck, an even smaller part might imagine Ben Shapiro could. Though I still would never forgive them for the hatred they've spewed and capitalized on. But Crowder... he's a fucking human stain through and through who in the last 10 years at least has not uttered one word that is worth defending.
You say this as though you know everything he says.

If you cant get dave off. Might as well file a lawsuit.
The thing is until he was literally in jail he was still being defended. There was some story of an actress who went to some Hollywood club or something and there was Weinstein surrounded by other celebs as though nothing and happened and when she tried to kick up a fuss she was the one ejected.While it's true that the ultimate goal is for someone who has brutalized many people for his own pleasure should face justice, do also realize that this was an open secret forever.

I think it's covered in part here
Harvey Weinstein’s night out looks a lot like the groundwork for a comeback
Weinstein’s been going out in public a lot lately.

Weinstein was said to be with an entourage of young woman as he attended an event for young actors

Sam Seeder is an ankle biter in youtube. You might as well be debating Vaush while Vaush is drunk off his ass and deliberately trolling to try and make piss off his opponent than debate Sam Seeder. It would be like debating with Kevin Hovind (for those unlucky enough to know who that is) or I dunno the Internet Blood Sports lot like The Internet Aristocrat (whatever he's going by this time). Actual intellectual my arse lol

They got away with more than some companies ever allow. Like badmouthing the company on social media in some cases even privately if they find out can be enough but at least one of the people in the suit was doing it for over a week and was only suspended over crashing the executive meeting in the end.
ROFL they're trying to claim they were treated illegally because the special was even released. They're literally trying to claim releasing the special was some violation of their rights as employees. This Lawsuit looks like a huge joke.
See if they'd denied they leaked it they'd have a leg to stand on but they're trying to deny the leak ever happened which is a whole nother level of dumb.
Dave Chappell is already well off so even if you “cancel” him I’m sure he won’t be impacted that much.
There's room for a general principle that if someone talks a load of shit enough of the time, you may as well write off everything they say in entirety.
I know this man unfortunately. The bible thumping wife beater.
Im pretty sure you mistaking banned for refuted. I sure as shit hope university don't teach about miasma anymore.
One thing I've noticed is that they are too loose with what can be turned into a study. Far too many times the methodology was flawed and how it got past and into the literature baffles me. Like, how do you let a paper go through when a bunch of co-author say that the data is made up? Was it a prevelant provlem and is it only an issue because antivaxxers picked it up?
